Nothing worse than spending an hour debugging a circuit only to find the breadboard connection is bad. Lots of students in digital logic class can attest to this.

For the last 35 years both professionally and as a hobbyist I've just soldered stuff to bits of copper clad board. On one-off items like test rigs etc, these are then screwed to the inside of the lid of a Hammond box.

I found this interesting stack overflow answer:
https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/3206/best-so...
unfortunately the question was closed:
Closed. This question is opinion-based. It is not currently accepting answers.
Annoying that stack overflow specifically shuts this stuff down.Shutting down discussion makes it seem like a self-serving answer mill instead of a community.

High current, satisfying insertion, no chance of intermittent contact
Troubleshooting bad connections is probably better practice for the students than the actual lab work, to be honest.
